Woelk v. Woelk, 43 Fla.L.Weekly D2018 (Fla. 5th DCA 2018). Court’s award of alimony remanded back to trial court when it was unclear from the record and final judgment how the Court determined the Wife’s needs.

Frederick v. Frederick, 43 Fla.L.Weekly D2140 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2018). Trial court erred classifying a mortgage on husband’s non-marital property as a marital liability when funds were not used for a marital purpose and Wife did not obligate herself to loan.

Foster v. Chong, 43 Fla.L.Weekly D2044 (Fla. 3rd DCA 2018). Trial Court erred in awarding child support without findings of fact of how it arrived at final amount and for clearly providing parties had shared parental responsibility over minor child.
